Immorality in the life of a member of the Church | 0:00:11 | 0:00:18 | |
can tarnish the work of God. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:23 | |
A woman may be the model of a good wife and a good Christian. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:30 | |
But that counts for little, for she is an adulterer. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:36 | |
I say to her, as to you all... | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
INDISTINCT | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
..don't for a moment think that your sin is a private thing. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:46 | |
It is adultery and tarnishes the name of the Church and... | 0:00:46 | 0:00:53 | |
..destroys...our ministry in the... | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
..community. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
Uh...it destroys our ministry in the community. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
Either way, your infidelities need to be brought to the light. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:14 | |
This is what I warned you about. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
And I have been given that responsibility. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
You are not only breaking the commitment you made to each other, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:27 | |
but also the one you made to God. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |

Some supper. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:58 | |
Thank you, Evelyn. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
The fire in your room has been lit. It's a cold night out. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
Ah, yes. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:06 | |
PHONE RINGS | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
Hello? | 0:02:12 | 0:02:13 | |
There's no-one there, Cyril. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
PHONE RINGS | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
Good evening. Father Morton. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
You're aware of the hour? | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
It has been several months since my last confession. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:21 | |
Father? | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
Father Morton? | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
Father? | 0:03:37 | 0:03:38 | |
Oh! Oh... | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |

WOMAN SOBS | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
It is with sadness that I can confirm | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
Father Cyril Morton has passed. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
Aren't the police usually the ones | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
giving speeches under such circumstances? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
It's important that we stay strong at this time | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
and know that everything happens for a reason. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
We've lost a wonderful friend and an excellent priest. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
This will be a great shock to the community. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
This was an unfortunate act of nature. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
Everyone will be informed in due course | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
and funeral arrangements organised | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
and details announced at a later time. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
I'd say we're looking at a severe allergic reaction. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
Now we need to find out who that last penitent was. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
Well, we know that was Jean. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:50 | |
No, no, no, she was here this morning. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
Morton's been dead since last night, | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
judging by the discolouration of the skin. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
..until we make an official announcement later today. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
We just have to accept that this was simply Father Morton's time. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
What's strange is this late-night confession business. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:06:14 | 0:06:15 | |
Ah. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:16 | |
Didn't fancy church this morning? | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
I had other matters to deal with. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
Pity, because things don't quite add up at Sacred Heart. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
Hope you're taking notes on this, Davis. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
Yes, sir. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:27 | |
You'll be handling this. I'm otherwise occupied. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
Everything all right? | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
I'll let you know if it isn't. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
So, what doesn't add up? | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
Well, the time frame. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
This whole late-night penitent thing. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
What do we know about Father Morton? | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
Nothing at all. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:43 | |
I mean, I haven't set foot in church since I arrived here, | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
except for today. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:47 | |
There's Morton's death certificate. You'd better get Blake to sign it. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
Well, hang on a moment. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
Thank you, Charlie. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
I might need to perform an autopsy. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
The Church doesn't want one, Blake. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
And besides, they're expensive and, in this case, unnecessary. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
Boss. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
I'd like to speak to someone. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
How can we help you, ma'am? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
It's about Father Morton. I'm his housekeeper. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
Was. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
I'm the reason he died. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
Right. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:18 | |
Cyril...Father Morton went to meet a penitent | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
at the church late last night. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
And who was that penitent? | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
I don't know. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
I overheard you saying that he died of an allergic reaction? | 0:07:31 | 0:07:37 | |
Yes, that's right. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
I gave him some fruit on his way out. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
It was new to the stores. I hadn't seen it before. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
I knew he had an allergy. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
I shouldn't have given it to him. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
What kind of fruit was it? | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
I gave him a pear, which I knew he wasn't allergic to. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:56 | |
The other was a Chinese gooseberry. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
I did this, didn't I? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
Evelyn, fruit allergies | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
can bring about a severe reaction, certainly. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
But having said that, so can a number of other things. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
I imagine we'll do an autopsy, then. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
Dr Blake, this is Mr Michaels. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
He's a surgeon here at the hospital. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
-Ah. -Hello. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:25 | |
Dr Harvey's said only good things about you. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
Really? Dr Harvey, you're too kind. It's a pleasure. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
Mr Michaels diagnosed Father Morton | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
with a brain tumour several months ago. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
He'd like to section the brain. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
See exactly where the tumour is? | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
Yeah, when you're finished, I'll remove the brain | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
and encase it in formalin overnight to fix it. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
-Then I'll section it. -The Church has consented. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
Right. Well, then, we'd best get started. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
You mentioned a possible food allergy on the phone. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
Yes, anaphylactic shock. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
Morton's housekeeper is afraid he may have died from eating fruit. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:58 | |
A Chinese gooseberry. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
Kiwi fruit. It's from New Zealand. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
He could have easily been allergic and not known it. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
If it is a food allergy, | 0:09:06 | 0:09:07 | |
we'll be looking for a pulmonary oedema in the lungs. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
Yes, or cerebral oedema. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
I'll start by making an incision into the thorax. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
-Very good. -Hey, wait a minute. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
What are these? | 0:09:20 | 0:09:21 | |
Urticaria perhaps. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:24 | |
Hives caused by his allergies. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
Yes. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:27 | |
Bear with me a moment. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
I noticed something here. Look. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
Look at that. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
A bee stinger. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:45 | |
There's at least 20 stings here. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
Do you happen to know if Morton was allergic to apitoxin? | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
I never operated on him. I'll have to check the file. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
Because if he was allergic to bee stings, | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
there's no way he'd survive being stung this many times. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
Perhaps we should check the upper airways. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
Charlie. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
I didn't realise you were Catholic. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
Well, I'm not a very good one. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
-You find anything? -Oh, just more questions really. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
If Morton was being stung by bees, | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
why didn't he simply flee the confessional booth? | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
As you know, the priest would take his seat on this side of the booth, | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
the penitent right next door. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
Well, as far as I can remember. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
Hm. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:49 | |
Doc, you got any ideas what's wrong with the boss? | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
Your guess is as good as mine, Charlie. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
Yeah. Yeah, I reckon there's something he's not saying. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
Well, not exactly transparent, our Matthew Lawson. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:11 | |
Come have a look at this, Charlie. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:13 | |
Father Morton's killers. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
And the piece of glass? | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
Kept in a jar, perhaps? | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
Charlie, help me move this pew across to the door, would you? | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
Well, that scratch has definitely been made by this pew, I'd say. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:35 | |
And look at the height of it, Charlie. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
All they'd need to do | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
is position the back of the pew under the door handle here. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
I think the penitent waited in their side of the booth | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
until Father Morton was seated. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
Then they opened the door to Morton and they threw the jar of bees in. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:55 | |
GLASS SHATTERS | 0:11:55 | 0:11:56 | |
Then they barricaded the door. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
No! Agh! | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
BEES BUZZ | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
Help! | 0:12:02 | 0:12:03 | |
It would have been quite dark in here last night, wouldn't it? | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
Yes, perhaps only a few lights on. Why? | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
Well, someone was reading the Bible in candlelight, | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
maybe while Father Morton was fighting for his life. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
Right. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:23 | |
Well, that's evidence, Charlie. We'll need to take it with us. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
Whoever killed Father Morton, | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
they knew, they knew he was allergic to bee stings. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
Charlie. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:44 | |
You have got to be joking. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
Father Emery? | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
Yes? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:07 | |
You keep bees? | 0:13:07 | 0:13:08 | |
Yes, that's right. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
You're the only one that handles them? | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
Yes. It's my apiary. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
I set it up when I arrived around six months ago. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
Right. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
Were you aware Father Morton had a bee allergy? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
Yes. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
But Cyril never came near the apiary. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
-That was a given. -I see. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
The autopsy revealed he died from bee stings. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
Now you say you were aware of his allergy, | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
and yet you set up your apiary where he spent most of his time. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
I spoke to Cyril about setting up the apiary and he was fine about it. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:44 | |
I'll talk to the Superintendent. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
He'll most likely want you to come down to the station | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
to answer more questions. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
I think you'll find he won't. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:51 | |
And why is that? | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
Because your Superintendent knows better | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
than to point the blame too soon. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
Gentlemen. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:02 | |
MATTHEW: Thank you. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:11 | |
What does the boss say? | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
Stay away from the church. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
Oh, come on! | 0:14:22 | 0:14:23 | |
Once we found out about the bee stings, | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
we had to revisit the crime scene. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
-Yeah, he also said don't steal any more Bibles. -Oh. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
I suggested we bring in Emery for questioning. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
-And? -The Archbishop in Melbourne | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
apparently suggested that we didn't do that. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
Oh, of course. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
What about that mark on the floor, right by the confessional booth? | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
Lawson doesn't believe Emery would use his own bees | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
to kill a priest. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:45 | |
Really? Why is that? Because he's a man of the bloody cloth? | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
We know this is murder, | 0:14:48 | 0:14:49 | |
but we have to be damn sure before we accuse a priest. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
Go and interview as many of the parishioners as possible. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
And if you could avoid annoying too many people today, | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
-I'd appreciate it. -Look... -Blake! | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
Lucien. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
I've been asked to sew the sacred linens for Father Morton's funeral. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
Well, me and the rest of the sewing circle. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
They'll be coming over this evening, if that's all right. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
Yes, of course. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
Father Morton baptised Jack and young Christopher. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
I am sorry, Jean. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:40 | |
You'll find out who did this? | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
I promise you I'll do my best. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
Evelyn Toohey must be beside herself with grief. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
Yes. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:58 | |
Tell me about her. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:01 | |
Evelyn came to the church after her father was sent to prison for theft. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:08 | |
I think she really needed to believe in something after that, | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
which is when she found Father Morton. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
I don't know who she'll turn to now. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
Well, God I imagine. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
Huh, I didn't think you were on his side. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
No, but Evelyn is. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:24 | |
If I were you, I would speak with Evelyn again. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
She was his housekeeper. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
She probably knew him better than he knew himself. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
Evelyn, this is very kind of you. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
I really wasn't expecting lunch. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
I'm just glad the food's not going to waste. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
Bless us, oh, Lord, and these your gifts, | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
which we are about to receive from your bounty. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
Through Christ our Lord, amen. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
Amen. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:56 | |
I'm not sure who I'll cook for now. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
Or even if Father Emery will keep me on. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
I am just the housekeeper. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
Father Morton left that night to meet with a penitent. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
That's right. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:14 | |
To be honest, it's been a long time since I... | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
Anyhow, I can't imagine late-night confessions | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
would be standard practice. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
I'd never known anyone to call that late. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
And tell me, you worked for Father Morton for a long time? | 0:17:27 | 0:17:32 | |
Yes. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:33 | |
I never really understood the importance of religion | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
before meeting Cyril. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
Sometimes it helps to put a face to it. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
It sounds as though you were both very, very good friends, though. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
We didn't always get along, | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
but I always tried to keep Cyril's good name intact. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
Especially since his sermons had lost focus lately. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:57 | |
Recently, I'd overheard that Father Emery | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
wanted Cyril to retire from his position early. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
And I can't say that he was altogether wrong in suggesting it. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:11 | |
Some parishioners even walked out of the last sermon. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
Do you know who? | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
Ben and Celia Lloyd. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
Right. Do you recall anything else? | 0:18:21 | 0:18:25 | |
I was waiting after the mass. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
I always did, should Cyril need anything. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
This time, Ben Lloyd was arguing with him. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
I don't know what about, but it looked quite heated. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:39 | |
Right. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
Evelyn, what was that last sermon about? | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
Adultery. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:48 | |
-WOMAN: -'I'd left the stove on.' | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
And that's what you were discussing when you left the church? | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
I was worried we'd come home to find our house burnt to the ground. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
And you had every right to be annoyed. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
But I had no right to raise my voice. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
Witnesses say they saw you talking to Father Morton after mass. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
Not me. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:12 | |
They must have seen somebody else. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
Tell you what, there's some lovely pictures here. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
Thank you. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
-Oh. -Are you all right? | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
Yes, I'm fine. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
You both attend Sacred Heart regularly? | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
-Every Sunday. -Any other times? | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
Celia would see Father Morton on a regular basis. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
Confessions, various church activities. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
She even visited him in hospital once. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
Really? And what was that for? | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
It was for a bee sting. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
His doctor suggested some bed rest. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
I took him a casserole. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
Right. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
Tell me, Father Morton's bee allergy, | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
was that common knowledge? | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
No. He kept it to himself. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
It was just a small group of us from the sewing circle who visited him. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:13 | |
Evelyn, Dorothy, Jean and myself. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
Right. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
So the women from the sewing circle | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
all knew about Morton's allergy to bees. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
As did Ben Lloyd, and Father Emery of course. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
And Mrs Beazley. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:25 | |
Well, I think we can safely rule her out, Charlie. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
We know they're just playing happy families in there. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
What, because of that photo frame turned upside down? | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
Yes. I bet that photo was their wedding photo. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
And what about that folded blanket on the couch? | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
Oh, because one of them slept there last night? | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
I'd say Ben. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
But this business about the stove being left on - | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
no, no, no, no, no. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:49 | |
People spend nights on couches over much, much bigger issues. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
What, money? | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
Or...infidelity. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
The sermon they walked out of? | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
Precisely. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
But is that enough of a motive for Ben to kill Father Morton? | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
Well...I'm not sure yet. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
Either way, he wasn't particularly happy with Morton's last sermon. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:15 | |
-Mm. Oh, Doc. -Yes? | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
Got it from the library. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:23 | |
Oh, Charlie, well done. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
-Thank you. -Mm. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:27 | |
Ladies, I have some news. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
-I'm pregnant. -Ohh! | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
Oh, Celia, congratulations. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
-Ohh! -That's wonderful news. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
Thank you. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
It's so unexpected. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
Oh, you two must be very excited. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
'Oh, yes. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
'Oh, Ben will make a wonderful father. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
'A first child.' | 0:22:04 | 0:22:05 | |
It's such an exciting time. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
It is cause for celebration, you know. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
Celia, what's wrong? | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
I'm not much in the mood. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
It seems unfair considering Father Morton's passing, and poor Evelyn. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
Is there something else? | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
The truth is, I haven't told Ben. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
Ladies. I am sorry to interrupt. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
I seem to have misplaced my newspaper. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
I threw out this afternoon's newspaper. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
-I see. -As I do every evening. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
Lucien, this is Dorothy Turner. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
Ah! Dorothy, an absolute pleasure. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
Lovely to see you here, Mrs Lloyd. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
-Thank you. -I trust you're feeling better. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
Actually, Doctor, I'm expecting. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
LUCIEN GASPS | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
Well, congratulations. How about that? | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
Wonderful news. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
And I see the church linens are coming along beautifully. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:13 | |
We can thank Dorothy for being such a taskmaster. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
We'll be lucky to get this made before the funeral. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
Ah. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:20 | |
Well, in that case, I should leave you to it, eh? | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
Ladies. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
See you next time. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:33 | |
It was so lovely to have you here. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
-Thank you, Jean. -Bye, Dorothy. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
You take care of that step there. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
-Celia. -Jean. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
Look after yourself. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:47 | |
I trust you got what you wanted? | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
Hmm? | 0:23:59 | 0:24:00 | |
Oh, the paper. I'll, um, well, I'll see tomorrow's edition. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:05 | |
I don't appreciate you treating my friends as suspects. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
I imagine you can do as you like. You're not accountable to anybody. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
I'm accountable to you, Jean. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:14 | |
I know you want me to find out what happened to Father Morton. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
Unless of course you think God was responsible. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
Well, he is, in some ways. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
Well, I admire you, Jean. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:26 | |
Being able to forgive God so effortlessly. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:32 | |
What about your lovely friend Dorothy? | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
An injury of hers, it's permanent, is it? | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
Yes. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:37 | |
I wonder, has she forgiven God? | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
It's not God she needs to forgive. It's her late husband. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
He was a horrible and violent man | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
and on one occasion, he shoved her down a flight of stairs. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
She's always kept that to herself. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
Goodness me. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
Well, there you are. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:55 | |
Proof that man can generate evil all on his own. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
What happened to the husband? | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
He died in a car accident soon after that. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
-Mysterious ways. -Mm. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
There's something about Celia that I should tell you. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
KNOCK AT DOOR | 0:25:08 | 0:25:09 | |
Hold that thought. I'll get it. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
Drink? | 0:25:18 | 0:25:19 | |
Mad if we don't. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
Come on through. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
-Jean. -Oh, Matthew, what a lovely surprise. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
-Hope I'm not interrupting. -No, never. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
In fact, you're here just in time | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
to help settle a small debate on religion. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
Now, do you think God or man is responsible for evil in the world? | 0:25:35 | 0:25:42 | |
Man. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
Well, Lucien, that means you've turned your back on God | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
and Matthew's turned his back on man. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
I'm not sure what's left to have faith in. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
-Whiskey. -Ha. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:54 | |
So, Matthew, what's your secret? | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
Sorry? | 0:25:58 | 0:25:59 | |
The secret to remaining detached | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
while at the same time being entirely consumed by the case. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:08 | |
Well, uh, don't be entirely consumed by work. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
Doesn't always give back. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
Ah, that's sound advice. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:16 | |
Well, speaking of being entirely consumed by work, | 0:26:16 | 0:26:20 | |
Jean, you were going to tell me something when Matthew arrived. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
Oh. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:24 | |
Yes, Celia admitted to be being very upset with Father Morton. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:30 | |
Apparently she'd told him her sins in confession | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
and she's sure that he's referenced those confessions | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
in his last sermon. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
Well, that's interesting. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
Look, let's say... | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
that's Father Emery. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
This is Father Morton. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:54 | |
And these are some of the congregation | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
who knew about Morton's bee allergy. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:04 | |
Now, there's Celia and Ben Lloyd. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
Then we have Dorothy Turner. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
Now, the Lloyds walked out during Morton's last sermon, | 0:27:13 | 0:27:19 | |
which focused on infidelity. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:21 | |
Now, Celia - she was the one who confessed regularly. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:26 | |
I suspect she told Father Morton, | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
he took that information and wove it into his sermon. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
Now, let's not forget Dorothy Turner. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
She has a secret of her own about how she came to be disabled. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:39 | |
And perhaps Morton was going to reveal her secret too. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:43 | |
The point is, | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
whoever killed Morton, I think had one hell of a secret to protect. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:54 | |
A secret worth killing for? | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
Makes you wonder, though, doesn't it? | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
What was Father Morton thinking, | 0:28:00 | 0:28:02 | |
betraying his parishioners like that? | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
That's if he was thinking. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
Good God, Matthew, you're quite right. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
Thank you. Ah. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:18 | |
DOOR OPENS | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
Sorry to keep you, Dr Blake. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:44 | |
No, not at all. Good to see you, Mr Michaels. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:48 | |
You mentioned on the phone | 0:28:48 | 0:28:50 | |
that you needed more detail on Morton's brain tumour. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:53 | |
Yes. I was curious as to the exact location of the tumour. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:57 | |
I was going through Morton's medical history and I found a name. | 0:28:57 | 0:29:02 | |
Thomas Blake. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:04 | |
Any relation? | 0:29:04 | 0:29:06 | |
Yes, my father. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
-He was Morton's doctor for a while. -Oh, I wasn't aware. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:11 | |
Morton's tumour was in the early stages | 0:29:12 | 0:29:14 | |
of infiltrating his frontal lobe. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
Right. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:18 | |
Which means disinhibition was potentially a factor. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:22 | |
Going off on verbal tangents, making inappropriate comments, | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
poor impulse control. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:26 | |
Not the sort of problem a priest would want to have. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:29 | |
PHONE RINGS Excuse me. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:31 | |
Certainly. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:32 | |
Yes. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:34 | |
It's for you. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:37 | |
Thank you. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:39 | |
Blake. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:42 | |
Just calm down! | 0:29:45 | 0:29:47 | |
Go on! Get out of me bloody house! | 0:29:47 | 0:29:49 | |
Bloody settle down! | 0:29:52 | 0:29:53 | |
Hey, hey. Calm down, mate. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:56 | |
Get over here! | 0:29:56 | 0:29:58 | |
-Get away from me! -It's over! | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
-Under control, Charlie? -Yeah, she's in the bedroom, Doc. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:03 | |
Celia? | 0:30:04 | 0:30:05 | |
It's got nothing to do with you! | 0:30:05 | 0:30:07 | |
Oh, Celia. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:09 | |
Are you all right? | 0:30:09 | 0:30:11 | |
-SOBBING: -My stomach! | 0:30:11 | 0:30:13 | |
She got what she deserved. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:15 | |
Let's pop you up on the bed. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:16 | |
Pop you up here. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:18 | |
Let me see that tummy of yours. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:20 | |
Oh, for God's sake. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:24 | |
All right, I'm here. I'm here, all right? | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
Do you think you can walk with me? | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
-Yes. -Yes? | 0:30:30 | 0:30:31 | |
Good girl. That's it. Come on. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:34 | |
I was in the area. I got the call. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:42 | |
As soon as I heard the address, I got the station to call you. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:45 | |
Good man. | 0:30:45 | 0:30:47 | |
Well, it looks like Celia got a couple of decent shots in as well. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:51 | |
That was me. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:53 | |
Right. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
Well... | 0:30:55 | 0:30:56 | |
..Ben was clearly very focused on what it was he set out to do. | 0:30:57 | 0:31:02 | |
What? Beat his wife to a pulp? | 0:31:02 | 0:31:05 | |
No. He was aiming fairly and squarely for her abdomen. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:10 | |
He didn't set out to hurt her as such. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:13 | |
He wanted to kill the baby. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:15 | |
Celia was having an affair. She told Morton. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:17 | |
Morton revealed her secret | 0:31:17 | 0:31:19 | |
and then, then she announced she was pregnant. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
It seems like a good enough reason to want to kill Morton. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
And Ben knew of Morton's bee allergy. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
Celia. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:33 | |
-We'll come back tomorrow. -Yes. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
I'm glad Celia and the baby are all right. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:44 | |
-Horrible business. -It is indeed. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:46 | |
Jean, I wanted to give you these. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:52 | |
I know your Dr Blake is looking into Cyril's passing. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:56 | |
They're complaint letters from Father Emery to the Archbishop. | 0:31:56 | 0:32:00 | |
I overheard Father Emery talking to Cyril, | 0:32:00 | 0:32:03 | |
saying he was going to complain. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
Father Emery gave me the letters to post, | 0:32:06 | 0:32:09 | |
but I just couldn't, knowing what was in them. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:12 | |
Now I think they might actually help the police. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:15 | |
I'll make sure the Doctor receives them. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:17 | |
So Father Emery wanted Morton removed from the parish? | 0:32:20 | 0:32:24 | |
Well, that's if Evelyn's telling the truth. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:27 | |
Yeah. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:29 | |
I did a background check on her. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
Confirms what we know - | 0:32:31 | 0:32:33 | |
that her father went to prison for theft. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:35 | |
He stole a substantial amount of money and a porcelain doll. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:39 | |
A porcelain doll, Charlie. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:42 | |
Not something you'd imagine a grown man | 0:32:44 | 0:32:46 | |
would be particularly interested in. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:49 | |
Perhaps Evelyn stole the doll and she let her father take the fall. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:53 | |
And if she lied about that, | 0:32:53 | 0:32:55 | |
she could well have been involved in Morton's death. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
But she came into the station and confessed to killing him. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:01 | |
I mean, she wouldn't do that if she was innocent. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:04 | |
Charlie, confessing, that's a wonderful alibi. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:08 | |
She might have written these very letters. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:10 | |
Maybe we should steam them open. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:11 | |
That's the Queen's mail, Blake, and we don't have a warrant. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:14 | |
I suggest you delve deeper into Ben Lloyd's past. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:17 | |
Yes, sir. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:19 | |
Lawson, what's going on? | 0:33:22 | 0:33:24 | |
Nothing. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:26 | |
I just want to make sure that Father Emery's accorded due process. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
-But those letters... -Due process! | 0:33:29 | 0:33:31 | |
If you go off on one of your tangents, | 0:33:34 | 0:33:36 | |
the Archbishop will be all over us. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:38 | |
Well, what if Charlie and I just had a friendly chat with Emery | 0:33:40 | 0:33:47 | |
-and not mention the letters? -Feel free. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
Matthew, if you don't mind me saying... | 0:33:50 | 0:33:52 | |
you've spent an awful lot of time on the phone today. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:56 | |
I'm just asking, is everything all right? | 0:33:56 | 0:33:58 | |
HE SNIFFLES | 0:34:03 | 0:34:05 | |
It's not your problem. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:09 | |
I had noticed that Father Morton was struggling with his sermons. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:23 | |
Yes. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:24 | |
It's been reported that confessional secrets | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
were revealed during those sermons. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:29 | |
You don't seem surprised, Father. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:31 | |
I had my suspicions. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:35 | |
Canon law prevents a priest from betraying the penitent in any way. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:40 | |
Yes, of course. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:42 | |
You wanted to report it? | 0:34:42 | 0:34:43 | |
Yes, I wrote letters to the Archbishop in Melbourne, | 0:34:43 | 0:34:46 | |
but I never received a response. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:48 | |
Apart from those sermons, | 0:34:48 | 0:34:49 | |
did you feel overall that he wasn't performing his duties as a priest? | 0:34:49 | 0:34:53 | |
Latin is not a language people understand anymore. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:56 | |
Heh. And I'm guessing the Archbishop remained silent? | 0:34:56 | 0:35:00 | |
Yes. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:01 | |
So I kept an eye on the Father. | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
I expected that at some point he would retire. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:07 | |
And you would have been next in line to take over. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:10 | |
As the only other priest here, yes. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:12 | |
That would have been a step up for you, wouldn't it? | 0:35:12 | 0:35:16 | |
I'm only human. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:18 | |
But my concern was for the Church. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:22 | |
I was trying to deal with the matter | 0:35:22 | 0:35:24 | |
in a way that did not damage anyone's reputation. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:27 | |
Did Morton ever complain about you? | 0:35:30 | 0:35:33 | |
I'm sure he did. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:34 | |
I'm sure he felt that my approach was perhaps too modern. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:40 | |
So you didn't always see eye to eye? | 0:35:40 | 0:35:43 | |
We can still love our neighbours, even when we disagree with them. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:48 | |
I can get angry at God sometimes, | 0:35:48 | 0:35:51 | |
but it doesn't mean that I'll walk out on him. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:54 | |
Do you have any idea why someone would want to kill Father Morton? | 0:35:55 | 0:36:00 | |
No. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:01 | |
Murder is a mortal sin. | 0:36:01 | 0:36:03 | |
And my poor Ligurian bees just make honey. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:07 | |
They don't kill people. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:09 | |
Ligurian bees? | 0:36:11 | 0:36:12 | |
Yes, that's right. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:16 | |
Apis mellifera syriaca. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:20 | |
The bees we found are Cyprian. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:25 | |
Emery's bees, Ligurian. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:30 | |
Right. | 0:36:30 | 0:36:32 | |
Well, I'll try to find out who keeps Cyprian bees in town. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:35 | |
In the meantime, listen to this. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:39 | |
That passage in the Bible, the page with the candle wax on it? | 0:36:39 | 0:36:43 | |
It's Romans 7:7. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:44 | |
"God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin but by the law - | 0:36:46 | 0:36:52 | |
"for I had not known lust, | 0:36:52 | 0:36:53 | |
"except the law had said, 'Thou shalt not covet.'" | 0:36:53 | 0:36:57 | |
Covet, Charlie. | 0:36:57 | 0:36:59 | |
Covet. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:01 | |
Father Emery wanted Father Morton's job. | 0:37:01 | 0:37:04 | |
Exactly. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:05 | |
Are these all of them? | 0:37:07 | 0:37:08 | |
All except for one. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:10 | |
Father Emery's got Morton's last sermon. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:13 | |
He wants to read it at the funeral as a tribute, I gather. | 0:37:13 | 0:37:16 | |
Well, this one, | 0:37:16 | 0:37:18 | |
he seems to be addressing certain members of the congregation. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:22 | |
Listen. "This Sunday's gospel presents us with a parable | 0:37:22 | 0:37:26 | |
"that, in certain respects, has important contemporary relevance. | 0:37:26 | 0:37:29 | |
"The parable of the dishonest housewife." | 0:37:29 | 0:37:33 | |
He goes on and on and on. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:35 | |
Doesn't name names. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
-Well, that could be any housewife. -True. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:40 | |
Listen to this one. | 0:37:40 | 0:37:41 | |
"The Corrupt Means of Getting Gain. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
"This is by taking that which does not belong to us as our own, | 0:37:43 | 0:37:48 | |
"also known as stealing." It goes on. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:50 | |
"God has condemned this practice | 0:37:50 | 0:37:52 | |
"and has declared that his children should leave it behind | 0:37:52 | 0:37:56 | |
"with the other works of the flesh." | 0:37:56 | 0:37:58 | |
Ephesians 4:28. | 0:37:58 | 0:38:00 | |
I think you made a mistake going into medicine, Doctor. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:03 | |
Mm, I can see it too. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
The voice. The delivery. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
Well, thank you so much, Mattie. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:10 | |
But the delivery wasn't the point. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:12 | |
What is the point? | 0:38:12 | 0:38:14 | |
I need to know if this sermon, or any sermon of Father Morton's, | 0:38:14 | 0:38:17 | |
relates to one of our suspects. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:19 | |
Oh, not that I can tell. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
But these don't appear to be only sermons, | 0:38:21 | 0:38:23 | |
but notes that he's taken on individual people. | 0:38:23 | 0:38:27 | |
Yes. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:28 | |
I mean, here for example. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:30 | |
I'm sure this says "housekeeper." | 0:38:30 | 0:38:33 | |
The housekeeper was diabetic. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:36 | |
Evelyn Toohey's diabetic. I've treated her at the hospital. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:39 | |
Right. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:41 | |
And look, it says here, | 0:38:41 | 0:38:42 | |
"The housekeeper committed theft, stole a porcelain doll, | 0:38:42 | 0:38:47 | |
"her father took the blame." | 0:38:47 | 0:38:49 | |
That sounds like Evelyn. She collects porcelain dolls. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:54 | |
So it's fair to say, then, | 0:38:54 | 0:38:56 | |
that she may have confessed that to Father Morton. | 0:38:56 | 0:38:58 | |
Now the sermons themselves, | 0:38:58 | 0:39:00 | |
the way they're worded, I recall one about coveting. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:04 | |
-Here it is. -Ah. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:06 | |
He gave that sermon about four weeks ago. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:09 | |
And that's the one about adultery. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:12 | |
Right. Which was last week's sermon. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:14 | |
And the sermon that was to be given next week was... | 0:39:14 | 0:39:17 | |
-The Sanctity of Life. -Thank you. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:22 | |
So that's three of the Ten Commandments. | 0:39:22 | 0:39:24 | |
Yes. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:26 | |
Thou shall not commit adultery, thou shall not covet thy neighbour. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:30 | |
And the Sanctity of Life could also be translated | 0:39:30 | 0:39:32 | |
as one of the other commandments - thou shall not kill. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:36 | |
Yes, of course. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:38 | |
Thou shall not kill. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:43 | |
Right. Look at this. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:45 | |
Father Emery coveted Morton's job, yes? | 0:39:45 | 0:39:49 | |
The Lloyds, well, Celia - adultery. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:53 | |
Evelyn Toohey, a thief. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:56 | |
Whoever killed Morton | 0:39:58 | 0:40:00 | |
must have known he was working his way through the commandments. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:04 | |
And when Morton posted the topic of what was to be that next sermon, | 0:40:04 | 0:40:09 | |
the killer knew that he or she was next in line to be exposed. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:14 | |
And here's the thing. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:16 | |
That very sermon is about to be read out at Morton's funeral. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:21 | |
So Father Emery could be... | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
Next. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:26 | |
So all of his sermons were based on the Ten Commandments? | 0:40:26 | 0:40:29 | |
The most recent ones were. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:31 | |
So based on our theory, if killing was the topic of the sermon, | 0:40:31 | 0:40:34 | |
whoever killed Morton must have killed before. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
Because they confessed their first crime with Father Morton? | 0:40:37 | 0:40:40 | |
Yes. They had to stop him before he gave that sermon. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
Oh, I did a background check on our suspects. | 0:40:46 | 0:40:50 | |
No, there's nothing on any of them. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:52 | |
Really? Nothing? | 0:40:52 | 0:40:54 | |
Well, there is one thing. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:55 | |
Uh, Dorothy Turner's husband, John. | 0:40:55 | 0:40:57 | |
He didn't die from the accident. | 0:40:57 | 0:40:59 | |
He died a few days later, from surgery. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:02 | |
Heart complications from the accident. | 0:41:02 | 0:41:04 | |
Right. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:05 | |
Oh, and here's that list that you wanted | 0:41:05 | 0:41:09 | |
with all the apiaries in the area. | 0:41:09 | 0:41:10 | |
There's only one beekeeper with those Cyprian bees. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:15 | |
We need to find Emery. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:16 | |
He'll be getting ready to deliver that final sermon of Morton's. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:20 | |
Whoever killed Morton | 0:41:20 | 0:41:22 | |
could potentially target Emery at any point prior to the funeral. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:26 | |
And quite frankly, we could use his help with this list of bees. | 0:41:26 | 0:41:29 | |
Dr Blake. What can I do for you? | 0:41:32 | 0:41:36 | |
Hello, Father. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:38 | |
Just a few more questions, really. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:40 | |
Um...some weeks ago, Father Morton spoke about coveting in a sermon, | 0:41:40 | 0:41:47 | |
and I wondered, did he make specific reference to you? | 0:41:47 | 0:41:52 | |
Because he thought that I wanted his parish? | 0:41:52 | 0:41:55 | |
Yes. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:56 | |
Do you know "Thou shall not covet" is about the only commandment | 0:41:56 | 0:42:00 | |
which focuses on one's intention and not on one's action? | 0:42:00 | 0:42:04 | |
I may have wanted Father Morton's position, his parish, | 0:42:04 | 0:42:09 | |
but all I did was write letters to Melbourne. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:11 | |
We found this, open, over by the confessional booth. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:19 | |
I think someone wanted to make it look like you killed Father Morton. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:23 | |
They'd been reading a passage about coveting. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:27 | |
For someone who is not a member of the congregation, | 0:42:27 | 0:42:31 | |
you certainly seem to have studied your Bible. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:35 | |
I have the address of a beekeeper who breeds Cyprian bees. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:43 | |
The same variety of bee we found in the confessional booth. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:48 | |
I was hoping you might help me. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:50 | |
The Church does not want to have anything | 0:42:51 | 0:42:53 | |
-to do with this investigation. -Ah. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:55 | |
But... | 0:42:55 | 0:42:57 | |
I need to know what happened to Father Morton as much as you do. | 0:42:57 | 0:43:01 | |
Thank you. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:03 | |
And Dr Blake... | 0:43:03 | 0:43:05 | |
..don't let God go | 0:43:06 | 0:43:08 | |
because you couldn't hear him when you needed to. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:10 | |
Don't let hurt decide your faith. | 0:43:13 | 0:43:15 | |
So the owner's been away for the last week? | 0:43:24 | 0:43:26 | |
Yeah, yeah, we've spoken to the neighbours. | 0:43:26 | 0:43:28 | |
I guess we're hoping to find anything | 0:43:29 | 0:43:31 | |
that looks... well, out of the ordinary. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:35 | |
-I'll point out anything that I see. -Thank you. | 0:43:35 | 0:43:38 | |
BEES BUZZ? | 0:43:38 | 0:43:40 | |
Cyprian bees. | 0:43:44 | 0:43:46 | |
Ah. | 0:43:46 | 0:43:47 | |
There's a lot of activity here but nothing unusual. | 0:43:47 | 0:43:49 | |
What does that thing do? | 0:43:49 | 0:43:51 | |
Smoke. Keeps the bees calm. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:54 | |
But we will need to stay relatively still and quiet. | 0:43:54 | 0:43:57 | |
No sudden movements. | 0:43:57 | 0:43:58 | |
Goodness. | 0:44:01 | 0:44:02 | |
It's fine, keep still. That's what the nets are for. | 0:44:02 | 0:44:05 | |
Yes, of course. | 0:44:05 | 0:44:07 | |
Now, this lid has not been replaced properly. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:12 | |
It's definitely been tampered with. | 0:44:12 | 0:44:14 | |
Yes, you see, this hive is dilapidating. | 0:44:35 | 0:44:38 | |
That crowding is not usual in a healthy, concealed hive. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:42 | |
Right. | 0:44:42 | 0:44:43 | |
Charlie? | 0:44:45 | 0:44:46 | |
No fingerprints but there are finger impressions. | 0:44:46 | 0:44:51 | |
I'd say they were wearing gloves. | 0:44:51 | 0:44:52 | |
I'll take your word for it, Doc. | 0:44:55 | 0:44:57 | |
Ah. | 0:44:57 | 0:44:58 | |
Cigar ash. | 0:45:00 | 0:45:02 | |
Cigar ash, you say? | 0:45:02 | 0:45:04 | |
It's been used by an amateur to calm the bees down. | 0:45:06 | 0:45:11 | |
Yes. | 0:45:11 | 0:45:12 | |
Charlie? | 0:45:16 | 0:45:17 | |
I think we have our killer. | 0:45:17 | 0:45:19 | |
There we are, Charlie. | 0:45:29 | 0:45:31 | |
I'll tell you, Lawson was right about staying away from the church. | 0:45:31 | 0:45:36 | |
I didn't realise we had an appointment, gentlemen. | 0:45:36 | 0:45:39 | |
Ah, Mr Michaels. | 0:45:39 | 0:45:40 | |
Don't suppose you happen to have a cigar on you? | 0:45:40 | 0:45:43 | |
I have a long line of patients waiting outside. | 0:45:43 | 0:45:45 | |
Surely you understand that? | 0:45:45 | 0:45:47 | |
Or perhaps you're not in great demand as a doctor? | 0:45:47 | 0:45:50 | |
I'm told any amateur going near an apiary, | 0:45:51 | 0:45:56 | |
having done their research of course, | 0:45:56 | 0:45:58 | |
will know that cigar smoke calms bees down. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:02 | |
-Bees? -Yes, bees. | 0:46:02 | 0:46:05 | |
The ones you took from that apiary just outside town. | 0:46:05 | 0:46:09 | |
The same ones you held in a glass jar | 0:46:09 | 0:46:11 | |
and smashed into the confessional booth, killing Father Morton. | 0:46:11 | 0:46:15 | |
Two years ago, Dorothy Turner was referred to you with a brain injury, | 0:46:15 | 0:46:18 | |
an injury she sustained | 0:46:18 | 0:46:19 | |
after being severely beaten by her husband, John. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:22 | |
Now, three months later, he was involved in a car accident. | 0:46:22 | 0:46:26 | |
According to hospital records, | 0:46:26 | 0:46:27 | |
you were the surgeon who operated on him. | 0:46:27 | 0:46:30 | |
There's beeswax and resin on these gloves, Doctor. | 0:46:30 | 0:46:33 | |
And imprints on the lid of the hive | 0:46:33 | 0:46:35 | |
which will no doubt match your driving gloves. | 0:46:35 | 0:46:39 | |
Put yourself in my shoes. | 0:46:44 | 0:46:48 | |
I operated on Dorothy Turner multiple times | 0:46:48 | 0:46:51 | |
to repair the damage inflicted on her by that monster. | 0:46:51 | 0:46:55 | |
Yes, I understand he pushed her down the stairs. | 0:46:55 | 0:46:57 | |
No, no, no. First he beat her, then he pushed her down the stairs. | 0:46:57 | 0:47:01 | |
Then he stomped on her head, | 0:47:01 | 0:47:02 | |
and then he butted out his cigarette on her arm. | 0:47:02 | 0:47:05 | |
That was the last of a long line of injuries. | 0:47:06 | 0:47:09 | |
So you let him die on the table, | 0:47:09 | 0:47:11 | |
and then you confessed all to Father Morton? | 0:47:11 | 0:47:13 | |
That is one hell of a secret, isn't it? | 0:47:13 | 0:47:16 | |
When did you realise you were in danger of being exposed? | 0:47:16 | 0:47:21 | |
I am a doctor. | 0:47:21 | 0:47:22 | |
I noticed his symptoms a year ago. | 0:47:24 | 0:47:26 | |
But when he started breaking the secrets of the confessional, | 0:47:26 | 0:47:30 | |
I knew I had to act. | 0:47:30 | 0:47:31 | |
Thou shalt not kill. | 0:47:31 | 0:47:33 | |
Clearly, you didn't consider the irony. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:38 | |
Morton was ageing. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:40 | |
He was going to die of that brain tumour within a few months anyway. | 0:47:40 | 0:47:43 | |
Oh, I see. | 0:47:43 | 0:47:45 | |
So you just helped things along. Is that it? | 0:47:45 | 0:47:48 | |
Mysterious ways, Doctor. | 0:47:50 | 0:47:53 | |
I am simply God's servant. | 0:47:53 | 0:47:56 | |
Mr David Michaels, I need you to accompany me down to the station, | 0:47:56 | 0:48:00 | |
where you'll be formally charged | 0:48:00 | 0:48:02 | |
with the murder of Father Cyril Morton. | 0:48:02 | 0:48:04 | |
Lawson. | 0:48:11 | 0:48:13 | |
I think you'd be very proud of your Senior Constable. | 0:48:13 | 0:48:15 | |
Couldn't have found Michaels without him. | 0:48:15 | 0:48:17 | |
Matthew. | 0:48:22 | 0:48:24 | |
What's going on? | 0:48:24 | 0:48:26 | |
I've been summoned to Melbourne on disciplinary charges. | 0:48:26 | 0:48:29 | |
I'll be facing a Special Branch Committee set up for such matters. | 0:48:29 | 0:48:33 | |
Apparently, they've been keeping an eye on me for some time. | 0:48:33 | 0:48:37 | |
Boss, I haven't been... | 0:48:37 | 0:48:39 | |
I said "they", not "you". | 0:48:39 | 0:48:43 | |
An interim station boss will be appointed in my absence. | 0:48:44 | 0:48:47 | |
Until then, Davis, you're the senior officer. | 0:48:47 | 0:48:50 | |
Well done today. | 0:48:50 | 0:48:52 | |
Thank you, sir. | 0:48:52 | 0:48:54 | |
Yeah, hang on a minute. | 0:48:56 | 0:48:58 | |
Disciplinary charges? | 0:48:58 | 0:49:00 | |
Oh, it's shorthand for police politics. | 0:49:00 | 0:49:03 | |
I've become inconvenient. | 0:49:07 | 0:49:09 | |
Well, I'll drive you to the station. | 0:49:11 | 0:49:13 | |
It's all right. I've organised an officer to take me. | 0:49:15 | 0:49:19 | |
Oh, I see. | 0:49:19 | 0:49:20 | |
Well, I trust you'll call from Melbourne? | 0:49:22 | 0:49:24 | |
Let us know when you'll be back. | 0:49:24 | 0:49:25 | |
Exceptional work, Lucien. | 0:49:29 | 0:49:31 | |
You too, Matthew. | 0:49:34 | 0:49:35 | |
Good morning. | 0:50:11 | 0:50:13 | |
You're up early. | 0:50:13 | 0:50:14 | |
Yes, I thought I might take a walk. | 0:50:14 | 0:50:16 | |
You know it's still dark out there. | 0:50:16 | 0:50:18 | |
Oh, best time of the day. | 0:50:18 | 0:50:20 | |
No-one else around. | 0:50:20 | 0:50:22 | |
Are you worried about Matthew? | 0:50:23 | 0:50:24 | |
Yes. Yes, I am. | 0:50:27 | 0:50:29 | |
I'll get you some breakfast. | 0:50:31 | 0:50:33 | |
Oh, I might walk first, if that's all right. | 0:50:33 | 0:50:36 | |
Um, you know, Evelyn was telling me | 0:50:36 | 0:50:39 | |
she and Father Morton didn't always get along. | 0:50:39 | 0:50:43 | |
But it didn't stop them from being great friends. | 0:50:43 | 0:50:45 | |
Ah, that's true. | 0:50:45 | 0:50:47 | |
You know, I was reading his final sermon. | 0:50:47 | 0:50:49 | |
He was talking about the sanctity of life, | 0:50:49 | 0:50:52 | |
how that translates as "live and let live". | 0:50:52 | 0:50:55 | |
Mm. | 0:50:55 | 0:50:56 | |
We must respect the differing opinion of one another. | 0:50:56 | 0:51:00 | |
Yes. | 0:51:00 | 0:51:02 | |
It's the differences that make us interesting. | 0:51:02 | 0:51:05 | |
Yes, I know. | 0:51:38 | 0:51:40 | |
It's been a long time since I was last here. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:47 | |
A funeral, in case you've forgotten. | 0:51:50 | 0:51:52 | |
It's all right. | 0:51:54 | 0:51:56 | |
I didn't come expecting an answer this time. | 0:51:56 | 0:51:59 | |
Though I imagine Father Morton did. | 0:52:01 | 0:52:04 | |
Did he know he was losing his mind? | 0:52:04 | 0:52:06 | |
Did he kneel right here and ask you for your help? | 0:52:08 | 0:52:14 | |
I'm sure he did. | 0:52:16 | 0:52:18 | |
And what did you give him? | 0:52:20 | 0:52:22 | |
A sign? | 0:52:24 | 0:52:26 | |
Or nothing? | 0:52:26 | 0:52:29 | |
All these children, your children, begging you for help. | 0:52:29 | 0:52:35 | |
What father ignores his children? | 0:52:41 | 0:52:43 | |
You know I can't. | 0:52:54 | 0:52:55 | |
I can't. | 0:52:59 | 0:53:00 |
